Bar heaters again
- Thread starter KAWGRN
- Start date
The heaters that go under the grips need two on the left to get hot enough. Or something to insulate so the bars don't draw away the heat. The throttle side only needs one heater. I've never tried the grips with heaters built in but I would think they would work better.
spray foam
spray foam, urethane foam inside the bars. I have doen this on all my aluminum bars and makes a huge difference

Good find.
Looks like Honda's original waffle style from the CR/XR's of yesteryear, let us know if their compound compares.

Funny! I just installed my heated grips last night and was thinking the left was not as hot as the right. I put the foam in the bars, so hopefully that works out alright. I have gotten frost bite on all of my finger tips, so I hate it when my hand warmers don't work!!!

Gotta be careful to not keep the heaters on too much. I've had them cause the plastic deform and cause the throttle stick on. Just something to look out for.
Theres guys in WI that run this on the Ice Bikes. Splice a line and use the coolant to keep the bars warm. When I was ice racing in MN I was looking for options. Never tried it myself.

I think if you put shut-off valves where the line leaves and re-enters the coolant system you would be fine. If you bust a line, just shut that circuit off and get it fixed.

Looks like a little heat exchanger that'll keep the front of your hands warm
I should of posted these pics also. Theres these mits/covers that go over the hand guard. When your ripping doing 70+ on a open lake when its -20F your hands dont last long without something like this.

That's really creative! I wonder what they use to adapt the end of the air fitting to the bars? They almost need to tap the inside, but then i wonder how they do the guards... Very cool idea.
Thats so 1980's.
. Ha but they do work great, Ive got them on my hawk, however they do fill up with snow, another downside is that if you open trailer and they get wet you have frozen hippo hands.
